Interim Preaching Team
During our time of transition here at Heartlands Church, we have put together a team of four people to serve as our “Interim Preaching Team” as we look for a new lead minister.
This team includes, Terry Seufferlein, Justus Coppinger, Brett Sales, and Jared Stark.
Please be praying for God to guide us as we continue to search for a new lead minister!
